the universe or "all of this" did have a cause. It didn't JUST exist. This argument from the skeptic (no need for a cause) is simply the result of not "thinking that deep" or "not thinking entirely".

The ol' double standard: God doesn't need causation, but the universe does.
This is not thinking critically. Skeptics do not deny a cause, they use what is logicaaly sound to find the most valid cause. Th story in Genesis has no evidence to back it up and seems unlikely. The search for knowledge requires looking past fairy tales and mythology and towards what is most probable. It is not that the Bible is thrown out due to bias, it just seems sort of contrived and hoaky.
No, the argument from the skeptic is called the null hypothesis. If you wish to challenge the null hypothesis, you will need evidence to support your assertion. Please note the the following are NOT, by any reasonable means, evidence:
- Pointing to the universe as proof of creation (A proves A)
Okay, there's your task, have at it!

If the alleged cause of the universe can "just exist", then surly so can the universe itself.
Confused?
